The Canopy Trial Kit Quick-Start Guide

>THE CANOPY TRIAL KIT QUICK-START GUIDE
Instructions on set-up and usage of the Trial Kit to preview Canopy system performance in laboratory and/or network environments.
> Welcome to Canopy from Motorola. Your Trial Kit will help you see and experience the high-speed Internet access of the system in the context of your own network.
This Quick-Start Guide provides basic set-up and operational instructions for your Trial Kit components. More detailed discussion and instructions are available on the Canopy website at http://www.motorola.com/canopy.

STEP 1: IDENTIFY AND ASSEMBLE COMPONENTS

(A) One (1) Access Point (AP) Module. The AP Module distributes services to Subscriber Modules (SMs). (B) Two (2) Subscriber Modules (SMs). SMs are Internet access receivers that are installed in your subscribers sites. (C) Three (3) Power Supplies. (D) Three (3) straight cables. Used to connect AP and SM components to computers. (E) One (1) cross-over cable. Used to connect SM or AP to a switch, hub or router.

Laboratory Environment. To view Access Point and Subscriber Module functionality simultaneously, connect components to separate computers that have Ethernet cards. First, cable the AP (A) and SM (B) with CAT 5 Ethernet cable (D) between the RJ-45 connector on each component and the Ethernet "pig tail" connector on the AC wall adapter (C). Next, plug the Ethernet "pig tail" connectors into the RJ-45 port on each computers Ethernet cards. Network Environment. To test how the system works on your network, connect a Subscriber Module (B) to a mobile computer via the Ethernet straight cable (D). Next, connect the AP (A) to the pig tail connector using the cross-over cable (E). Finally, plug the pig tail into a switch, hub or router which is connected to a network.
(NOTE: DO NOT plug Ethernet pig tail connector into AP or SM units.)

STEP 3: CONFIGURE COMPUTERS AND COMPONENTS

a) Computer Configuration. All Canopy equipment is programmed with the default IP address of 169.254.1.1. If your computer is set to utilize DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), simply disconnect it from the network. If the computer uses static addresses, first access the TCP/IP settings for the computers Operating System. Next, set a static IP address on the 168.254 network, and set a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. (For a more detailed discussion of IP addresses for Canopy, go to http://169.254.1.1.) b) Canopy AP Configuration. Open a web browser and go to http://169.254 1.1. which opens the "Status" page of the AP module. Go to the "Configuration" web page, and verify that the AP is set to "Generate AP sync signal." Choose a transmission frequency and networking information for your application. Choose a color code for Canopy Trial System (the same for AP and SMs), click "Update Flash," then reboot. (c) Canopy SM Configuration. . The SM automatically scans all available frequencies and registers to an AP with the color code 0. If you want to manually configure the unit, take the following steps. Open a web browser and go to http://169.254 1.1. which opens the "Status" page of the SM modules. Go to the "Configuration" web page, and verify that the SM is scanning the chosen AP frequency. Verify that the color code is the same for AP and SMs. If any parameters were changed, click "Update Flash," then reboot.
STEP 4: BEGIN PERFORMANCE TESTS

a) Laboratory Environment. To verify that the AP and SM(s) are talking with each other, connect to the "Status" web pages of each component. On the SM "Status" page, the unit(s) will be noted as "Registered," On the "AP Eval Data" page you will be able to see information about the AP. On the AP "Status" page, you will see how many SMs are registered. Go to the AP "Sessions" page, and you will find indications of which SMs are "in session." Also on the sessions page, you will find the Logical Unit ID (LUID) of the SM(s). On the LUID "Select" page, the AP can display the web pages of all registered SMs b) Network Environment. To test how the system works on your network, connect the mobile computer with the SM installed on it to your network from the field. You can then view how the Canopy system will work in your own network environment.
> THE INTERNET; FASTER, SIMPLER, BETTER.

Canopy is the shortest distance between you and high-speed Internet delivery.

> CANOPY COMPONENTS

Thanks to the simplicity and sophistication of Canopy equipment, its simple to build and operate your own high-speed Internet access network.. The Canopy system includes a core set of basic building blocks: the Access Point, the Subscriber Module, the Cluster Management Module (CMM) and the Backhaul Module (BH), the GPS Antenna and the 300SS Surge Suppressor. (NOTE: the Canopy Trial Kit contains only those components needed to test the system. Components not included in the Trial Kit are needed only for fully functioning commercial systems.)
Access Point (AP) The Access Point unit distributes services to the surrounding community. A site with an AP Cluster can serve up to 1,200 SMs in all directions.
GPS Antenna (GPSA) This antenna feeds the GPS Receiver in the CMM, which provides precise synchronization pulses for the system.
Backhaul Modules (BH) The Backhaul Unit provides access over distances of 20 miles or more to the ISP feed.
Cluster Management Modules (CMM) The CMM provides power for up to 6 SMs, two BHs, an Ethernet Switch and the GPS Receiver. It also houses a jack field for all connections.
Surge Suppressor (SS) The 300SS Surge Suppressor protects home equipment from lightning surges by providing a path to ground.
Subscriber Modules (BH) SMs are Internet access receivers that are installed at your subscribers sites at a distance of up to 2 miles.
